Birth without Violence [Leboyer M.D., Frédérick] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. Birth without Violence

Review: Completely changed my birth plan! - A lot of the typical birth experience always seemed wrong to me, and I couldn't really explain why because wanting it to be otherwise seemed silly. Of course birth sucks for both mother and child, isn't that just things are? Now I feel entirely vindicated. I'm so happy I picked up this book and plan to give a copy to all of my pregnant friends. This book is amazing. Don't let the unusual format put you off: the poetic style makes sense for the content and you get used to it quickly. See the picture attached for one of my favorite passages! Beautiful. The thesis of this book is that a typical birth is unnecessarily traumatic and babies' first cries are actually cries of terror, and this "unintentional torture" is completely our fault. Very sobering thought. Dr. Leboyer offers many different (very intuitive) suggestions for techniques and changes you can make to the birth environment. He even describes one of the first times he implemented his techniques—the baby was so calm it barely made a sound, to the mother's alarm! But it's much more than just a bunch of techniques. It describes birth from the baby's perspective in a way that makes the techniques make perfect sense. Of course coming into a noisy, cold, bright room is jarring when you've spent your whole life in utero! It's the baby's first experience with fear. We try so hard to make our babies' lives comfortable because we love them, why wouldn't we try to reduce their discomfort at birth? Now that I've read this book, I plan to implement these suggestions and make sure my birth professionals are fully on board. Just read it, you'll be glad you did! Afterword: "Young women, this book has been written for you. So that you get back your courage. And take the great challenge. Childbirth is the Secret Garden of Women. Protect it. You'll have to make sure that no one enters it having in mind to rob you." Caveat: if you're religious (I am), this book has hints of New Age-y gobbledygook that don't pertain to the central message, but don't detract much from it either, just a heads up.
Review: A new perspective on birth - I like this book. It is written in a poetic style with symbolism and such. It is a very interesting read though. It helps you to see the birth through the eyes of the baby and experience it from that view point. Even though we have all been there and can't recall our own birth--at the time it was very real to us and all the events that come with the birth process and after. I think it's important to minimize trauma and discomfort for the baby and to handle him gently and with respect as with any human life. Highly recommend this book.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My favorite delivery book by far!!
*by A***E on July 14, 2021*

Beautiful book. Honestly I need more of these in my life! It was a very short read maybe 2 hours? But walking away I feel so calm and sure of my child’s birth. Like I’ve got this and he and I can bond beautifully even right after birth. I’m doing hypnobabies and they recommend this book, I got it used (saved some money) from here and it’s very much worth it.
